Photo by @Cristina Mittermeier. In the dying light of evening, Adelie penguins cluster on ice floating just offshore of tiny Paulet Island. By morning, all these penguins would be gone - out fishing for krill or huddled back on Paulet, home to a colony of more than 100,000 penguins. On the northwestern side of the peninsula, Adelie and chinstrap penguin populations have dropped by half over the past 30 years, but on another island near here, on the northeastern side, scientists recently discovered a surprisingly healthy colony of nearly 1 million Adelies. One factor: ice. Sea ice, which helps feed the krill upon which penguins rely, is much more extensive on the peninsula's northeast side. On the west side sea ice is declining much more rapidly. In fact. the week this image was taken, in mid-February, sea ice around all of Antarctica hit its lowest extent in recorded history.
